24-8-16, that is some powerful shit; good for you. For flowering you no longer need the high N content.

yes but you will have to add something with nitrogen in, 3-10-10 or 4-10-10 would be better.

Thats a 3-1-2 which is great for vegging. 2-1-3 is the area you are looking for in flower. I would stick with the 24-8-16 for the first few weeks of 12/12 then begin substituting some of the 24-8-16 with the 0-10-10. Working up to something like 40/60-25/75 24-8-16/0-10-10 over the 3-4 weeks. Keep an eye on your plants to be sure they are getting everything they need. But a very workable and effective diet can be had with those two ferts....and using those I would feed/water/feed/water...........

I used 5:10:10 leaving a small amount of nitrogen allowed for stress relief if there was any.
